So we’ve been telling Sophia for the past few days, that we were going to take her to the salon, so she could get her haircut. And, for the most part, she has been really excited about it.

Tonight, we finally had the opportunity to go. Let’s just say it didn’t quite turn out how we […]

I’m not sure what prompted me to do so, but tonight while tucking Sophia into bed I asked her what she wanted to be when she grows up. She looked at me with a straight face and said…”A fireman”.

I didn’t even think she would be able to understand the question, but […]

He’s so silly.

Sophia wanted to feed Derek last night:

Kind of puts in perspective, just how big Derek is. Look at the thighs on that boy!

Derek got his sister’s old helmet:

He’s not real crazy about wearing it. We had about a five second window for me to snap a couple pictures. He yanked it off, shortly after this […]

We took a stroll around the neighborhood as a family tonight.

Sophia didn’t get very far (our neighbor’s), before she got distracted:

Derek says “wassup”:

Just a pretty butterfly sculpture we found along the way:

Sophia shows us exactly where Derek’s belly button is:

Can you believe the size of the kid’s tummy? I mean geez…
